It certainly works well enough, but I am looking for something a bit warmer and.... how to describe it.... a bit wider?



Hello Marvin, It would help to know if you have an upper limit cost-wise. There's a real range among the mics you've listed as prospectives and of course there's virtually no limit to what one can spend on a high end mic (Brauner, Neumann, etc.). That said, one of the warmest LDCs I'm familiar with is the Miktek CV4. I don't have anything post ready with mine but here's a link that, despite being a youtuber, still demonstrates the mics natural warmth. It's a tube mic so takes a few minutes to warm up but it's even better in the flesh than the link demonstrates.
